The company offers pet health insurance for employees
2 min readThe
Bitlove & Co., a pet products and services company, is beginning to offer a new feature to employees who have pets: a health plan for dogs and cats of any age. The initiative came after an internal survey was conducted and found that 93% of employees have at least one pet – 75% are guardians of one or more animals. “We understand that this synergy is key to talent retention, and this new feature is also aligned with the company’s mission to democratize and simplify pet care,” says Dennis Caetano, President of People and Culture at Petlove & Co.
The plan includes unlimited counseling, both in the office and at home, vaccination application, access to emergency and urgent care, lab and imaging tests, funeral and cremation services.
All employees join the Prevenir plan, which includes a monthly fee paid by the company and a co-participation amount deducted from payroll according to usage. There is also the possibility to upgrade to Proteger, Cuidar or Premium Care plans, which include consultations with specialists such as cardiologists and dermatologists, exams such as MRI and CT scans, hospitalization, very complex surgeries, castration, physical therapy and acupuncture sessions.
Although the plan’s coverage is national, some cities, such as Porto Alegre and São Paulo, have more options for professionals in the accredited network. But there is a possibility to request payment for certain services.
The Prevenir plan is exempt from the grace period, and if upgraded, restrictions vary according to the plan chosen for complex procedures, such as CT scans, MRIs, specialist consultation, hospitalization, physical therapy and acupuncture, according to Dennis.
